How Rich Is Rich?

** How rich is rich?
The story is told that Lord Rothschild and Sir Isaac Wolfson met one day in the City. During a pleasant conversation, they decided to treat themselves each to a new Rolls Royce and so they took a taxi to the nearest RR showroom. When they got there, they both fell in love with the same pale blue Rolls Royce Ecstasy on display. But there was only one of these cars in the showroom.

The sales manager heard what was going on and said to the two famous millionaires, “It’s not a problem, gentlemen. If you both want one, I can get another pale blue Ecstasy from our other branch here within 45 minutes.”

“OK,” said Lord Rothschild, “get it. In the meantime, we’re going for a coffee.”

When they returned to the showroom, there stood two beautiful, gleaming, pale blue Rolls Royce Ecstasy saloons. Sir Isaac took out his chequebook but, before he could open it, Lord Rothschild waved it away and said,
“I wouldn’t hear of it, my dear fellow. These are on me – you paid for the coffees.”

** Results count
A Rabbi dies and is waiting in line to enter heaven. In front of him is a guy dressed in a loud shirt, leather jacket, jeans and sunglasses.
Gabriel addresses this guy, "I need to know who you are so that I can determine whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
The guy replies, "I'm Moishe Levy, taxi driver, of London."

Gabriel consults his list, smiles and says to the taxi driver, "OK. Take this silk robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Now it's the Rabbi’s turn. He stands upright and says, "I am Benjamin Himmelfarb and I had been Rabbi of Neasden for forty years."

Gabriel looks at his list and says to the Rabbi, "OK. Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Hold on a minute," says Rabbi Himmelfarb, "that man before me was a taxi driver – why did he get a silk robe and golden staff?"
"Up here, we only work by results," says Gabriel. "While you preached, people slept – but while he drove, people prayed."
